Abstract

Augmented reality (AR) is a new emerging technology that can improve the learning experience while making learning interesting and keeping students’ attention. Schools and higher education have already implemented AR in the teaching and learning process to convey information more effectively. However, there is a lack of information about AR for skill training in TVET institutions. The purpose of this study is to determine the perceptions of TVET instructors regarding the use of AR technology for skill training in TVET institutions. This case study was conducted using a questionnaire with a 0.99 alpha-Cronbach value. The questionnaire is using 5 Likert-scale and open-ended questions as an instrument for this study. There were 37 respondents selected randomly from TVET institutions in the center region of Malaysia. The findings show that TVET instructors have a positive perception toward using AR in skill training delivery. Furthermore, this study also found there is a challenge to implement AR technology in certain aspects such as students’ acceptance, instructors’ expertise, technology barrier, and policy for TVET institutions. The implication of this study will contribute to the TVET area for training using AR. © 2022 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
